Chapter 33

"Boom!" Suddenly, an old woman who hurriedly came from the opposite side with her head down bumped into Su Hailing who couldn't dodge in time.

"Old man, are you okay?" Su Hailing gently supported him.

"It's okay... Huh?" The old woman raised her head and saw her face, her expression suddenly changed, she grabbed her veins, and a sharp edge flashed in her cloudy old eyes.

"What are you doing?" Haoyue was startled, her hand was already on the hilt of the sword.

"Yue, it doesn't matter, this old man has no malicious intentions." Su Hailing smiled and stopped him.

"Strange...so strange..." The old woman ignored them at all, thought for a while, then grabbed her other hand to feel her pulse, and kept muttering to herself, "No...how is this possible? ..."

"Old man, what's so strange about my body?" Su Hailing asked.

"Girl, you are dying, do you know it yourself?" After a long time, the old woman stared at her and said.

"You're talking nonsense! How do you curse people so well?" Haoyue's handsome face turned pale with anger, and she turned around, "Miss, let's go. This kind of wandering doctor probably lives on it."

"It's fine if you don't believe me." The old woman snorted coldly, then shook her hand and wanted to leave.

"Old man, please wait a moment." Su Hailing shook his head towards Haoyue, signaling him not to be impulsive, and said, "You said I was dying, but I didn't feel any pain. Please ask the old man to clarify."

"For the sake of being polite, you girl, I'll tell you that you are indeed not sick, but poisoned!" The old woman said, looking at her expression, "The signs are chronic diseases accumulated over many years. Poisonous, what a pity."

Su Hailing looked around, because they were blocking the main road at the entrance of the town, they had already attracted the attention of many people, and they all pointed and whispered in this direction.

"Miss, it's not suitable to stay here for a long time." Haoyue whispered.

"If it's convenient for the old man, why not talk over there?" Su Hailing said, pointing to a tea house on the side of the road.

"Forget it." The old woman nodded after pondering for a while, ignoring them, and walked towards the teahouse by herself.

"Miss, do you really believe what she said?" Haoyue couldn't help asking, "That's clearly..."

"Why don't you listen." Su Hailing shrugged his shoulders with a calm expression on his face.

Unlike Haoyue, she didn't think it was necessary for the old woman to lie to her. Now they were dressed like traveling merchants, and they didn't look like they were very rich.What's more, judging from the eyes that the old woman showed for a moment, she might not be a wandering doctor.

Early in the morning, there were no other guests in the teahouse, and it was completely empty.Su Hailing picked a table by the window, asked for a pot of ordinary incense, and then asked: "The old man just said that I was poisoned, can you ask me, what's going on?"

"Your poison should have been there when you were very young." The old woman calmed down at the moment, and said slowly, "This poison has a nice name called 'lingering'. The poison is not strong, but it is hard to linger. Once planted, it dissolves in the blood, and there is almost no solution, it will only slowly eat away at your body, and there is no trace of poisoning."

"Then, what does the old man mean by strange?" Su Hailing asked curiously, "Is the poison of lingering rare?"

"It's not necessarily rare. It's just..." The old woman sized her up with probing eyes for a long time before saying, "Looking at your pulse, the lingering poison should have taken hold long ago. Why aren't you dead yet?"

Hearing this, Su Hailing's smiling face changed slightly.

Could it be... the real Su Hailing was poisoned to death?Then by accident, her soul entered this body.I still remember that when I just woke up, the imperial doctor came so promptly, as if she had been waiting outside the door, and sure enough... the little princess was not frightened by the assassin, but the lingering poison broke out!
Then, who is the person who poisoned... Thinking, she slowly sneered, and a name definitely appeared in her mind, empress, Su Xueling.She is the one who most wants to get rid of this thorn. It seems that the empress is the one with the best acting skills. Compared with her, Su Yuling is not enough.

"Girl, you don't worry if you know you're dying?" the old woman said with interest.

"I won't die." Su Hailing smiled confidently.

"You don't believe me?" The old woman's face turned cold.

"No, I believe it. And if my expectations are right, the old man must be a stranger." Su Hailing's eyes were full of firmness, without any fear, "It's just that I don't believe in fate. The old man also said that the poison of lingering has long It's time to attack, but I'm fine so far. There is no poison in the world that can't be cured, and I don't know that it is not unsolvable. If you lose your confidence, you can't save it even if you have a panacea."

The old woman stared at her for a while, then suddenly burst out laughing loudly: "Hahaha, I, Ghost Doctor Wujiu, did not miss the wrong person!"

"You are a ghost doctor without blame!" Haoyue lost her voice.

"Why, very famous?" Su Hailing turned his head and asked in a daze.

"Ghost doctor Wu Jiu is the number one miracle doctor in the world!" Haoyue's voice was still trembling, and even the hands on the table trembled slightly.

The ghost doctor will not misdiagnose, and so is the lingering poison...

"Although I think you are pleasing to the eye, it's a pity..." Wu Jiu sighed, and put down a jade bottle, "Take one pill when the poison occurs, it can temporarily suppress the lingering poison."

"Thank you, senior." Su Hailing said with a slight smile.

"No need!" Wu Jiu flicked his sleeves, got up and left.

"Miss!" Haoyue said anxiously.

"Yue, don't worry." Su Hailing put away the jade bottle, and comforted him, "Senior Wu Jiu is a strange person in the world, and he will definitely not lie to me. If she says she can't solve it, even if she can't, it's useless for you to keep her."

"Then what should we do?" Haoyue said.

"Go to Xiaohan Mountain, and look for Qinglian Sword Immortal." At this moment, Wu Jiu's voice condensed into one stream and entered the ears of the two.

"Where is Xiaohan Mountain?" Su Hailing asked.

"It's a mountain at the junction of Southern Chu and Dayong. It has a strange terrain and is covered with snow all the year round. According to legend... there is a sword fairy living in seclusion in the mountain." Haoyue hesitated for a moment before saying the last sentence.

Su Hailing almost laughed, but he couldn't help but recall the sword fairy game he played in his childhood, and couldn't help saying: "Is it the Qinglian sword fairy that the ghost doctor said?"

"This is the first time I've heard this name." Haoyue shook her head and said, "After all, my teacher has been separated from Jianghu since 300 years ago."

"Anyway, let's go and have a look." Su Hailing stretched his waist, stood up and said, "Anyway, we originally planned to take the route through Southern Chu, and it was exactly the same way."

"Okay." Haoyue agreed.

"Don't worry, there is no unparalleled road." Su Hailing held his hand and comforted him.
